Radio Cabinet ReDo

I found this radio cabinet at the antique mall

where I have my booth:

Poor thing!! LOL

So, of course,

I just had to take her home

and give her a makeover..

Here she is all painted white..

And, here she is all

shabby'd up and gorgeous!!

I lined the inside with some

pretty Shabby Chic brand fabric..

From that...     to this!!

Pink n White Bookcase

I took a break from the dresser

I posted about a few days ago..

She's really taking a long time,

and I tend to have a zillion and one

projects going on at the same time

anyway... so..

another one couldn't hurt, eh?

It's a bookcase.. and she's a heavy one!

I wanted to try something

a bit different, so, I painted the back pink

and the rest of it my favorite.. white!

Yeah, it has a hole in it..

I left it there, in case someone

wanted to take the top shelf out

and use it as a TV stand.

The roses are actually a handle

from a silver platter I picked up

awhile ago.

I gorilla glued it on to the top.

gave a quick coat of spray primer

and then painted overtop of that.

All waxed and shabby'd up..

I decided to distress this one

quite a bit, so, it wouldn't look

SO little girly, and maybe something

you'd find tucked away in the

back corner of the basement..

Or my garage! LOL

I just love how it turned out!!

Pretty in Pink

Happy Monday everyone!

(Is that even possible?)

Well, it is when I finished my

Pretty in Pink Desk!

Here is the only before I have

of the desk.. sorry 'bout that..

It was the typical cream and gold blah color.

And now...

~ Pretty in Pink ~

Ever so lightly distressed..

So adorable!

She's going to my booth tomorrow

for only $95.

My New Chandy!

I've been searching high and low

for just the right chandelier..

There are alot of chandeliers in

antique stores I really would like,

but, being that I have no idea what

I'm doing when it comes to electrical things,

I figured it best I buy a new one..

I finally found one at ... guess where..

Lowes! Only $129.. yippee!

Here's a picture of it on the box:

But.. it was a dark copper/brown color..

You just know that had to go!

So.. out comes my paint brush..

I took it apart section by section,

and painted it by hand..

Then, put it all back together, again,

section by section..

Here are the afters:

Oh yeah.. didn't I tell ya?

I painted my black dinette set too!

I just LOVE it white.

I'll be changing out the chair pads,

just waiting for that gorgeous

Cabbage and Roses fabric to

arrive in the States, can't wait!

Sneak Peek ~n~ Shell Wreath

Is it September already?!

I know alot of my northern friends back home

have said that the temps have dropped as low

as the 40's! Oh my word, my hips would FREEZE,

and I wouldn't be able to walk! LOL

I don't know how I ever did when I lived there, but,

I sure count my blessings we moved to Florida.

I just love it here! And, it's finally cooled off to the 80's

so I can paint in the morning again.. yippee!!

I've been working on a dresser, desk and a coffee table.

I'll show you the befores, and a couple progress shots..

but, that's it until I'm done! ;-)

Dresser Before

(Emily: Remember this one? I'm finally getting around to it!)

Lots of stripping and sanding

to get this lovely shade of pea green off!

Desk before

See that gorgeous sticky liner

in the drawers? ARGH!! Yuck!!

Painting the drawers in my kitchen.

Can't wait to show you the after!!

I made a heart shaped shell wreath

tonight too.. I just love it!

I'm not sure if I'll bring it

to my booth yet, or keep this one.

It does look pretty cute on my door!

Stay tuned, I'm making another post

right after this one..

I "redid" a chandy too!
